hats for charity

ok, so i used to work for the DC CAC, right? in november i went to my local knit shop (knit happens in old town alexandria) and presented them with the idea of a charity hat drive with the "proceeds" going to the CAC...well, after an announcement at the store and on their blog, over 40 hats of all shapes and sizes and colors have been created! they will be delievered to the CAC this week.

i just joined a brand new knitting group here in arlington, and i will share this idea with them this week when we meet on thursday evening.

here's my idea...knit or crochet hats and hats and hats and donate them to your local shelter or community center! this should not be just a holiday project! in the middle of july when you feel the need to pick up those needles but can't stand the idea of a sweater in the summer, whip up a cutie pom-pom hat! make a collection over the year, then by the winter you'll help keep more little ears warm.
